Weekend

This weekend is almost over!!! That means I have to work tomorrow :-(

Average Day, Not So Average Night

Today is was an average day, and now an average night. I worked a long shift of 8-7, came home and made dinner with my husband. Now I am sitting here blogging, and he is watching Johnny Zigler preach. As I've been sitting here goofing off on Myspace and Facebook, I'm thinking of today. There was a moment this evening that my husband told me something that happened to him at work today that made me angry. I mean really angry! I automatically asked him if he had responded. He said no that he had not, that he had bitten his tongue. Automatically, I thought of like 10 things I would have said. I even told my husband that I would have made the person feel 2 feet tall. I realized that I need to learn that getting angry doesn't solve anything, neither does putting people down, or making them feel worthless because they said something that made you angry. I'm glad that I didn't say the things I was thinking out loud! But I wonder how many people say exactly what they are thinking in moments like this? How many ugly situations, arguments, fights, feuds, and so much more that we could avoid? How many Christians like me would have automatically bitten back? What if the person wasn't saved and they knew you were a Christian, it's something to think about. So my day was average, but my night is not. I realize now that I need to give this to the Lord. I need to pray that he helps me control my THOUGHTS. I'm good at controling my tongue, but my thoughts not so much. Because I didn't tell Joe what I was thinking, but oh man if he could have read my mind! It's time for me to pray that in 2008 my thoughts change. This has not been an average night!

Disappointed

So I was hoping to be pregnant this month. I'm disappionted today because it's not the case. I know that I can't plan my life and expect things to happen exactly when I want them to. The main conselation is that I know that we can try again next month, and the month after that. I'm just bummed, really bummed....

Miracles Do Happen

So this week Joe and I saw God work in our lives. We've prayed and we were really scared about what was going to happen.I kept asking God where he was and why wasn't he listening. I kept saying are you just going to leave us here to figure it out on our own? Well He came thru. I just want to say that I don't always have as much faith as I should. But what happened was a miracle, something only God could make happen.

Dinner Lift

Today we had 4 great friends over for dinner. It's great sitting and watching how much things have changed. God has given us some amazing friends! Friends that I don't think my husband and I ever thought we would have. There were the guys goofing off, talking about silly things, and us girls being practical. I was sitting there hearing the talking and laughing thinking about how much our conversations have changed over the past year or so. We went from weddings now to babies. Our lives are changing and our friendships are evolving. I pray that throughout this year, our friendships grow. I love these people!!! They bring out so many good things in us. I love how John and Daniel have lifted my husband up. They are starting to help him understand what God has called him to be. I love listening to the 3 of them and their other guy friends get together and discuss The Word. I see these guys that are truly seeking out the heart of God. The girls are so different we are quiet, yet we sit and will talk about everything and anything. I have prayed for and been prayed for by these girls. We are there for each other. We have all truly become a family. I wish that everyone in the world could experience this. Friendships, Godly friendships are so important. I hope that we keep having these random dinners. I came home stressed and tired. Now I feel refreshed and just plain happy. Good friends lift you up, even when they don't realize that they are doing any lifting.

First Blog

So this is my very first blog. We shall see how this blogging goes. The only thing I can say is that I read a few people's blogs and they are pretty interesting, entertaining, funny, and many other things. I always have ideas and opinions in my head. I hope that I actually take the time to write them all out. Here goes to blogging!!
